Cool Stuff: Look Around

In Look Around, local villagers gather to slay a monster. One warrior becomes so consumed with training towards this goal that he ignores all else in life. This delightful short was written, directed and animated by Lee kyu-tae while attending the Korea National University of Arts, Department of Animation in 2008. Lee kyu-tae’s characters have a distinct look. His choice to animate in this sketchy, fluid style gives the short an organic feel. He’s not afraid to stray from his character models in order to convey the right amount of emotion.
